Fox confirms 'Fantastic Four' reboot
20th Century Fox has confirmed that it will reboot its Fantastic Four series.

The studio, who backed the two earlier big screen adaptations of the Marvel Comics property, has tapped screenwriter and producer Akiva Goldsman (Angels & Demons) to steer the franchise overhaul, reports Variety.

Heroes co-executive producer and Green Lantern co-writer Michael Green will pen the screenplay.

It is unclear whether original stars Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis will return for Fox's revamp of the Marvel superhero family.
